T aZZ whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, GEORGE EBER, 'a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Diego in the county of San Diego, and tate of (lalifornia, have invented a new and useful Side Extension for Camping Outfits, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to collapsible side extensions for use with camping outfits for automobiles more especially for my camping attachment for automobiles described in my application for patent filed April 30, 1917, Serial No. 165,398.

The object of the presentinvention is the provision of a side extension constructed of parts which may be taken down and stored away when travelingand which may be assembled with case when said extension is desired to increase the sleepingaccommodations of the apartment on which it is used.

In the accompanying drawings, which are for illustrative purposes, I show the preferred form of my invention, it being understood that changes in the precise construction shown may be made within the scope of what hereinafter is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invent1on.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary rear view of the front apartment of my camping attachment for automobiles above referred to, showing the present invention thereon, one extension being assembled in operative position; Fig. 2 an elevation of an angle iron 1 and the floor 2 thereon; Fig. 3, a right side elevation of F ig. 1; Fig. 4:, a section on the line AB of Fig. 3, showing both screen frames 6 secured to the bows and box portion; Fig. 5, a plan view of the assembled device, detached from the apartment, partly broken away; Fig. 6, a plan view of the loop 3 and a fra ment of the angle iron 1, drawn to an enlarged scale; and Fig. 7 a side elevation of Fig. 6.

Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

The reference numeral .60 denotes the box portion of the front apartment of my camp: ing attachment for automobiles referred to above; 8, the rear end bow and 10, the front end bow of said apartment.

The device is assembled as follows: The angle irons 1 are hooked into the loops 3, the arms 4 are hooked in position as shown in the drawing, the floor 2 is laid upon the angle irons 1, the bolts 9 are withdrawn, the frame 6 is removed to the edge of the floor 2 and the floor 2 is pushed against the box portion 60, the arms 5vare hooked in position as shown and the curtain is rolled over the top and dropped down the ends. The curtain 30 is rolled down over the screen when desired.

When it is desired to resume traveling the device is taken down and the parts stored away except the screen frames 6 which are bolted to the box 60 and the bows 8 and 10 as shown. The end flaps of the curtain 50 are folded back on top of the roof and rolled u with the top portion as shown in the drawings.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

Aside extension ofthe class described, in combination with a camping apartment having a box portion, said box portion having bows mounted thereon; loops mounted on said box portion; angle iron havlng hooksthereon and hooked in said loops;

obliquelv disposed bracket arms hooked to said angle irons and to the end bows of said apartment whereby said angle irons are held horizontal; a floor disposed on said angle irons; a vertically disposed screen frame mounted at the outer edge of said floor; and braces connecting the top of said frame with the bows of said apartment; for the purposes set forth.
